We are SEIU-UHW, the healthcare union with the power to win for caregivers and our patients.  


During the COVID-19 crisis, we secured major protections statewide, including improved staffing, increased paid sick and family leave, a new PPE stockpile law for healthcare workers, bonus pay, and stronger pandemic safety protocols.

We have pushed employers to end short staffing and we won a $25/hour statewide minimum wage for all healthcare workers, including community clinic and dialysis workers.

That’s why so many healthcare workers continue to join SEIU-UHW. To learn more about how YOU can join SEIU-UHW, complete the form on this page.
